Two war veterans critically injured in a truck accident during yesterday's Anzac Day march in Melbourne are in a stable condition in hospital.
The veterans, from the Ceylon Ex-service Association, were badly injured when the truck, driven by a 64-year-old man, lurched out of control and struck them from behind on St Kilda Road about 12.30pm (AEST).
Two of the most seriously injured men, aged in their 70s and 80s, were taken to The Alfred hospital where they remain in a stable condition, after originally being listed as critical.
An Ambulance Victoria spokesman says they suffered injuries to their lower bodies and one of them had fractures.
Another four men also were hospitalised , as well as the driver and a man on the back tray of the truck.
